02 - Cut both cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes for consistent threading onto skewers.
03 - Thread each wooden skewer with alternating fruits and cheese cubes. Vary colors and arrange items evenly for visual appeal.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No cooking required so you can assemble them while catching up with guests
  • The combination of sweet and savory hits every craving at once
02 -
  • Make sure everything is totally dry before threading or the cheese will slide around and look messy
  • Firm fruits work best so avoid overly ripe pieces that might crush when you push them onto the skewer
03 -
  • Cut everything the same size so each bite has the perfect ratio of fruit to cheese
  • Assemble these no more than four hours before serving so the cheese doesn't get weird texture
